The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (記憶) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

解析試題分析：這篇短文講述的是我們的大腦雖然并不像電腦那樣記住每件事，但是還是有一些方法可以提高我們的記憶力。在短文中給我們提出了六條建議。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)看，開頭第一段引出了本篇短文的話題，接下來(lái)從第二段開始到倒數(shù)第二段是具體給我們的建議，且每條建議的開頭都有符號(hào)◆，故我們可知一共是六條建議，故選D。
【小題2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)這條建議我們可知，我們要盡力的使用新的信息，如，你遇見了一個(gè)人，他說(shuō):“你好，我是Carlos。”，你不要只說(shuō)“你好”，而是要重復(fù)這個(gè)人的名字，說(shuō)“你好，Carlos�！薄？梢�，在空上我們應(yīng)該要重復(fù)這個(gè)人的名字，故選A。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這個(gè)題目的答案在文章中的第三段中，即Break a big number into smaller parts，當(dāng)我們記憶比較長(zhǎng)的數(shù)字時(shí)，我們可以把它分成幾個(gè)小部分來(lái)記。本段還給出了一個(gè)例子，故選B.
【小題4】理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段Discuss with a friend可知，和朋友一起討論會(huì)比較容易記住，故A選項(xiàng)是正確的。根據(jù)文章第五段可知always review information可以幫助我們記住東西，故B選項(xiàng)表達(dá)不對(duì)；C選項(xiàng)在文章中并沒有說(shuō)明，且這句話公式和事實(shí)能幫助你了解你的大腦，這句話本身就是不對(duì)的；D選項(xiàng)意為人們可以通過電腦來(lái)提高記憶力，這句話也是不對(duì)的。故選A。
【小題5】句意猜測(cè)題。原句Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory意為：不要對(duì)自己說(shuō)你的記憶力不好。這句話旨在告訴我們要相信自己的記憶力其實(shí)很好，要有信心，故選D。
考點(diǎn)：教育類短文閱讀。

In America, seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called WIN-WIN. It sounds strange to me at first because throughout my childhood, I have always been taught to try everything possible to win an upper-hand, rather than to help other people win. However, as time goes by, I have gradually understood the essence (真諦) of WIN-WIN principle—it is the way of winning on both sides.
When I was little, I used to play Chinese checkers (跳棋) which includes two basic tactics (戰(zhàn)術(shù)): One is to create paths for yourself; the other is to prevent your rival﹙對(duì)手﹚ moving. Players may use these two totally different ways in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even if his rival may take advantage of it. Finally he can always reach the goal a few steps ahead of the other player.
In the 1990s, a strategy﹙戰(zhàn)略﹚ called WIN-WIN became widespread in the western world. Its aim is to achieve your success while giving other people some advantages, so there is no real loser. One example of using the WIN-WIN principle is the voluntary system in the US. Most Americans support the spirit of voluntary contribution. In the US, schools and children organizations usually encourage and support kids to take part in community activities so that the voluntary spirit can be enrooted in their minds from childhood.
In China, it’s quite usual that some people are too selfish and never take people’s interests into consideration, while someone who really has courage to do something for the public is often called “foolish” or “silly”. Actually helping other people can be of great delight for the helper, for he can also learn something useful for his life such as sympathy, care, devotion, etc. So only if you take other people’s interests into consideration , you can make sure to win what you want.
【小題1】The purpose of the author in writing the passage is _______.

A．to tell us the cultural differences between China and the US.
B．to tell us the different educational systems in the US and China.
C．to tell us the importance and meaning of WIN-WIN.
D．to show that WIN-WIN is popular in the US and China.
【小題2】What is the author’s attitude(態(tài)度) towards WIN-WIN?
A．Criticism（批評(píng)）.B．Encouragement.
C．Disagreement.D．Doubt.
【小題3】The underlined word “enrooted” in the third paragraph means ____.
A．removedB．controlled
C．plantedD．influenced

“What is success”? Mr. Black asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch((英寸) TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning（博得）laughs from all the students.
Mr. Black smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(過量). That is not success.”
“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr. Black smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”
“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.
Mr. Black sighed（嘆氣）.“ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(與…比較) success.”
“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.
“Quite right!” Mr. Black clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”
“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.
“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (確保) their needs, you can then seen to getting the extras that you want.”
“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.
“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”
“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.
“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Black corrected himself.
Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.
“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards（信用卡）.”
Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”
“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Black laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”
